After posting a controversial picture of a swastika inside the star of David with the caption "YE24 LOVE EVERYONE #LOVESPEECH," Kanye West’s Twitter has been suspended again.

Based on the “YE24” in his caption coupled with his November announcement on Twitter that he is running for president, the symbol may be used in his 2024 presidential campaign.

Billionaire and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who is typically for free speech and Yeezy, confirmed the suspension via Twitter after responding to Ye’s now deleted tweet stating that he “violated our rule against incitement to violence.”

West must have sensed the impending suspension, posting another tweet taking aim at the CEO himself. The post contains the infamous picture of Musk vacationing in Mykonos on his yacht shirtless.

This is the second time this year the “Yeezus” rapper has been booted off Twitter for his remarks against Jews. Back in October, West tweeted that he would go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” which lead to his suspenions on both Twitter and Instagram. This also comes a day after West’s questionable interview with Alex Jones in which he expressed amicable feelings for Hitler and Nazis.

The first time West was suspended, he resurfaced after about two weeks. West posted screenshots of his conversation with Musk on Truth Social and according to those messages and Musk, Ye will be banned from tweeting for 12 hours.
